the best and worst of hat yai
finally i’m back from the trip! not a very long one, but according to the theory of relativity, it was a really really long one for me. not that it wasn’t enjoyable, just that i was plagued with an unfortunate spell of food poisoning that got me landed in hospital for one night! scary. first time staying in a hospital, and it isn’t even one that i know of. was so unwell that i was shivering, and when i wasn’t shivering my stomach was aching like crazy. not to mention the hospital stay cost a bomb… that was the worst part of the trip.
but the best! haha. went around the small street markets, ate nice food from the street stalls, had some bird’s nest and shark’s fin soup for a low price, shopped around a big shopping mall, went to carrefour (yes, carrefour in a small town), took the tuk tuk cabs, etc etc. everything else was great! swept many many packets of snacks off the shelf at carrefour for the NCHS recruits and fengshan members, bought sweets for friends and stuff. wow, loads of shopping! but i’m very broke now… cos of all the spending. the hospital bill’s the main culprit…
so there u go! the ups and downs of hat yai. for me, at least. good thing i had someone very fluent in thai with me. the language barrier was really something.
hope i’m well enough for practice tmr!
